molding 11. As shown, the base 14 of the channel molding 10 is providedat one end with spaced lugs 15 which extend through suitable slots 16 inthe base 13 of the channel molding 11 and are bent against the innerface of the base 13, while the flanges 17 of the channel molding 10preferably projects beyond the coped end 12 and. are provided at theirouter ends with tongues 19 which are preferably riveted in suitableslots 201111116 To facilitate assembly, the strips 10 and 11respectivelyv of molding are preferably provided with interchangeableends. As

shown, one end of each strip is preferably pro vided with the tongues 15and 19 respectively, while theopposite end thereof is preferablyprovided'with the slots 16 and 20 respectively.

. In Figures 7 to 10 inclusive I have shown another modification inwhich a blank of "the desired length having tongues 31 at the oppositeends thereof is stamped from a suitablestrip of sheet ,metalstock. Thisblank 30 may then be subjected to a punching operation to form thespaced openings 32 and the Slot 33. The blank 30 is then preferablyrolled into a channel-shaped strip of molding 34 ofthe desired crosssection, whereupon the tongues 31 are bent inwardlyto close the ends ofthe channel, and finally the openings 32 if desired are countersunk asshown to provide nel form, this slot 51 will be wide enoughfto receivethe usual operating handle or lever (not shown) carried by the door.

3 While it is believed that from the foregoing description the natureand advantages of the invention will be readily apparent, I desire tohave it understood that I do'not limit myself to what is herein shownand described and that s'uch changes may be resorted to when desired asfall within the scope of wha isclaimed.

What I claim as invention is: v 1. A molding joint including a striphavcurved face of the first stripv and having a {tongue projecting fromthe base thereof,

riveted in the slot aforesaid.

' 21A molding joint'including channelfshaped strip having a transverselycurved U base and a slot in said base, and a second strip 'havinga copedend fitting the curved baseof the first'strip and having a tongueprojecting from theloase thereof engaging the slot aforesaid.

3. A molding joint including a channelshaped strip having a transverselycurved base and a flange projecting beyond an end of sald base, and asecond strip having a of the first strip and having a tongue secured tothe flange aforesaid.

LA molding joint including a channelshaped strip having a; projectingflange at one end provided with a slot, and a second str ip extendingatsubsta-ntially right angles coped end fitting the transversely. curvedbase i to the first strip having a'tongue riveted in a the slotaforesaid)" 5., A molding joint including a channelshaped strip having atransversely .curved base provided with a slot and having a projec'ti'ngflange provided with a slot, and a second strip having a coped,endfitting the transversely curved: base of the first'strip, a

tongue'projecting fromthe'base of the second strip engagin the slot inthe base'of the first strip, and ailange projectingfrom th'e secondstrip provided with attongue engaging the slot in the flange of thefirst strip. 1.

6. A channel-shaped strip of molding'liav,

'ing a tongue projecting therefrom at one end thereof for engagementwith a slot in a. sec- "ond strip of molding'and' having a slot at the Vopposite end thereof adapted toreceive a tongue projecting from anotherstrip of 7. A channel-shaped stripofmolding having a transversely curvedbase, tongues projecting from said base at one end thereof for"engagement with slots in a second strip of molding, said base havingslots, at the end opposite the tongues adapted to engagetonguesprojecting from another strip of molding;,, J

8. A substantially"channelshaped strip of molding having a transverselycurved base and a tongue projecting from 'and'ext'ending transversely ofone endof the base to close one endof the channel.

9. Achannel-shaped-strip of molding ter inin'ating at the longitudinaledges thereof in inwardly extending-flanges and tongues projecting fromsaid flan es at oneendthereof. adapted to be secured tea second strip ofmolding. r

.10. A channel-shaped strip of molding having a transversely curved baseand terminating at the longitudinal edges thereof in inwardly extendingflanges, and tongues'projecting from the flanges and base aforesaid ofthe strip adapted'to be secured to aisecond strip of molding.

11. A channel-shaped strip. of 'molding terminating at the longitudinal'edgesthereof in inwardly extending flanges, said flanges V rojectingbeyond the base of the channel and having tongues projectingtherefrom'adapted to be'secured to a'secon'd strip of molding.
